Chronic Pain
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that helps people identify and develop skills to change negative thoughts and behaviors. CBT says that individuals -- not outside situations and events -- create their own experiences, pain included. And by changing their negative thoughts and behaviors, people can change their awareness of pain and develop better coping skills, even if the actual level of pain stays the same.
The perception of pain is in your brain, so you can affect physical pain by addressing thoughts and behaviors that fuel it.
What can CBT do for you? Cognitive behavioral therapy helps provide pain relief in a few ways. First, it changes the way people view their pain. CBT can change the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to pain, improve coping strategies, and put the discomfort in a better context. You recognize that the pain interferes less with your quality of life, and therefore you can function better.

Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, one of the country's great public research universities, and has one of the highest concentrations of therapists, psychologists, and mental health professionals of any mid-size American city, reflecting both the university's production of trained clinicians and the community's exceptionally high demand for and comfort with mental health services. Michigan Medicine's psychiatry department provides world-class behavioral health services, and a remarkably well-developed private therapy sector serves the broader community including faculty, staff, and permanent residents. The city has a strongly progressive character and an exceptionally high level of mental health literacy and help-seeking, and LGBTQ+ affirming care is well represented in the local therapy landscape. Common therapy concerns include academic stress and perfectionism, identity and relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and the particular challenges of living in a community with intensely high educational and professional expectations.
